Shouldn't Bush have to go before the Grand Jury? Other presidents

[democrat in Tallahassee]

have been compelled to testify. Shouldn't we find out what he knew?

[Liberal_Andy]

1. I think he did...

or at least was questioned by the SP.

[mwb970]

2. Haven't you heard? Bush is above the law.

No restraint, check, or balance of any kind applies to this godly, all-powerful figure. Even though he looks and acts like a 15-year-old in way over his head, we all have to bow down to him and let him do WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS.

It's sickening. What an awful, horrible president.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

5. He's not a president, he is a corporate stooge.

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. And he doesn't feel he needs to explain anything to anyone.

Others have to explain to him their words and actions, but he can do WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS, like you said. Someone needs to explain to pResident Rainman that he works for us.

3. He did go before the GJ

But unfortunately, it wasn't under oath.

:(

[democrat in Tallahassee]

4. When clinton went his limo was televised going into the parking

lot and we heard about nothing else for days. Bush went and I didn't even know?

[B Calm]

10. I find that amazing that he wasn't under oath. Is this restoring honor

and integrity???

[Stirk]

17. Isn't that insane? He was essentially saying, "I am going to lie to you".

[B Calm]

20. To save face, you would think right wingers would demand

that he be under oath..

[Horse with no Name]

18. He wouldn't go under oath with the 911 commission either

Pretty sad huh?

[leftchick]

11. no he didn't...

He gave testimony to Fitgerald at the WH with his attorney present and yes, he was not under oath. He still could be called to give testimony to the GJ.

[dogday]

12. What could force the President under Oath

to testify? What does his Oath of Office compel him to do and has he followed it or broke it?

[Sparkly]

13. I thought he was just "interviewed" in his office, no?

:shrug:

[dogday]

16. He was for 70 minutes but not under

Oath so he can't get prosecuted for perjury...

[DoYouEverWonder]

19. With a grand jury it doesn't matter as much

his testimony is presented has evidence and it is a crime to provide false evidence to a GJ.

[Ready4Change]

7. Can't find Nanny Cheney to accompany him. n/t

[Lannes]

8. Question for you legal experts..

Who decides whether to extend the grand jury past october? Hopefully noone the bushies can influence.

[Patty Diana]

9. Well ya'll see, saint shrub don't need no fucking laws, look at his

911 testimony!!!! NOT. Shrub don't think so, so it must be so!!!! No one has the BALLS to call the thief on anything he utters--SO IT MUST BE TRUE. The other Presidents don't matter, see they was all elected. shrub was seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelected...so there really ain't no rules when you're seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelected!!!!!

14. All Hail Gaius Julius Caesar Caligula Bushius - Emperor Americanus

Our great Emperor Bushius is above such things. Assistants accompany him into the bathroom and wipe him when he is finished with his morning business. When he urinates, he likes his servants to hold his member and point it in the right direction, as he is too busy with other more important things going on around him, having documents read to him and having phone calls summarized for him to be able to handle that kind of base function. After his morning bodily functions are completed, servants spread lanolin on his butt cheeks and powder them with talcum before putting his undergarments on him. Then Gaius Julius Caesar Caligula Bushius enters his private chambers to recline on a gilded divan and receive a pedicure, while manservants drop grapes and honeyed milk into his open mouth. Fatted swarthy men wearing loincloths and turbans hover around him fanning him with large palm fronds, after which muscular bald-headed men roughly flip him around and give his entire body a deep massage. After that, Emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Caligula Bushius mounts his pallet-bed and four vassals lift him in the air on their shoulders and, like Cleopatra, take him to the baths, where he conducts his morning business affairs. The procession is led by minstrels strumming harps and playing flutes, while male dancers wearing flowing silks caper and piroutte before him, dropping flower petals in his path to announce his arrival.

And you want to know if he should be called to testify?

15. Initially He Wouldn't Even Testify Before the 911 Commission

And NEVER would have if: Dick Cheney had not accompanied him, he was required to swear to tell the truth, or if he had not felt the public would have abandoned him if he hadn't. This is not a moral man who respects his country, you would expect no less from a coward of his small caliber.
